What did you buy on black friday/cyber monday?

Has anyone here tried evlution nutrition protein? I bought a couple tubs (in addition to 3 select tubs also) but don't know anyone who has had it

Reading through the Select site about why a blended protein is better, one of the top reasons listed is to avoid an acute insulin response...which as far as I know, insulin is anabolic and a release is preferred post workout. So this is confusing to me. Looking for insight.
 
Because an insulin load at once is not inherently better than a slow release?

The latter mitigates fat gain and is better for metabolic health and blood sugar

The fact that this blend outperforms isolates is all the proof we need

Yeah, you're overthinking this Iron. Just get enough protein a day and you'll be fine. Select is engineered to be the most optimal blend for athletes
 
I was strapped for cash via the holiday so I only picked up a classic 2 ABE, 2 EP. Haven't tried the new versions yet so I'm pretty excited :)

Next best deal I've found so far is MT NitroTech Gold Whey @ 18lbs for $115, so $0.47 / serving vs. $0.65/serving of Select. I can see the Select is a good deal, but which one would you buy? is the muscletech stuff worth a sh*t? My favorite whey has been Dymatize Iso-100...but my hookup moved out of state and I can't afford it anymore. lol
I guess while I'm at it, I should ask if there are any other recommendations out there for deals this weekend on a good and cheap protein...

Whey will always be cheaper than a blend. Not a fair comparison, but eh, Select all the way. MT spiking Phase8 like crazy left a bad taste for me. Select tastes great, mixes well, and has great macros. Get in the BF sale before it runs out.

MT Nitrotech gold is a pure whey product, while Select is a blend, which is scientifically optimal. Select is also more protein per scoop when compared to the total scoop amount (so it has better macros), and is third party tested to show it isn't spiked.
 
My god, I m absolutely broke, fu%#*#¢ black friday/cyber..... bought four bottles old Myosynergy, and two massgh from PN.
Today I m going to place the monthly order from Nutri, probably evomuse gods.. brite, alpha burn, supernova.... this is the final judgment....
 
My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I said. I have all I need. Supplements (I was able to buy a few staples) healthy food and the ability to go to the gym.

Thank you love. I'm good.
 
Stocked up on Follidrone 2.0, the ridiculous 50% PES Insider for some High Volume, and the B2G1 on Sparta Kraken. Took advantage of the recent USP Labs Modern Protein hook up, so I'm set in that regard for a while.

Very solid sales this year all around.

Forever props to dsade for making Gut Health last so long per bottle

Blessed are you Americans.

Why Europe does not do this?

I was the only discount I could take, it was 5% hahahaha
 
^some retailers here had flat rate shipping, I would have jumped at it still
 
I got suckered in this black friday. I'm not a big supplement user at all but for some reason I just kept clicking "add to basket." Off the top of my head:

Casein protein powder - always good to have on hand for those nights when I don't get enough protein.

Protein bars - just to have around when on the run.

SNS creatine mono 1200 grams - only $9.75 so I was pretty happy with this buy. I ran out of creatine a while ago and haven't refilled so this was perfect.

SNS Agmatine - never used agmatine so I feel left out. Good time to buy it while it's on sale.

And here's where I went off the rails...

2X CEL M-Test - not sure why I bought 2 bottles of this. It was cheap, it's new, and getting good reviews but not sure I have any use for it.

2X SNS inhibit e - also not 100% sure why I bought 2 bottles of this stuff. At $15 a bottle it just seemed purchase worthy.

SNS inhibit p - I just added 2 bottles of inhibit e, so what's 1 bottle of inhibit p? And it's even cheaper than inhibit e. Maybe it'll stack well with inhibit e if I ever decide to use it.

3X muscle addiction eradicate-e - why am I adding this to my cart? I have all these OTC PCT products and I don't even use PHs. But it's buy 2 get 1 so it only comes out to $11 per bottle. Might as well pick it up. Maybe I'll run it during my cut.

SNS ZMA - never used ZMA before so I might as well buy it.


There you have it. I bought some other essentials like joint support, etc. But as you can see my judgment wasn't great this black friday.
 
^ classic binge

sounds like me at the Chinese buffet...sitting there like I dont know what happened I just kept "adding to plate"
 
3 Sparta nutrition kraken $56 shipped
11lbs nutraplanet protein $68 shipped
2 blacks tone labs angel dust (original AMP version) with 7 serving cutler nutrition legend $40 shipped
Bulk beta alanine and ALCAR $29 shipped
Overall happy with the sales this year, saved some cash for sure.
 
A lot lol. Same story though with shipping with some stores/companies, some orders already received at my door....some still sitting in "Unfullfilled" status i.e. CP.

I'm a supplement junkie, I know lol. BUT I'm very picky on what i use as I formulate products myself and create regiments for some pretty good athletes based off there nutritional needs. Overall I spent $679.97 on supplements this past Friday, but 5 or 6 of the products bought is least a 2 month supply so the only thing i see myself buying the next 2 months is a few things from SNS and some PES select. Once I launch my pre-workout, bcca, and nootropic ill be saving alot more cash. Though even then Ill continue to use products from other brands.

I can't lie the 1st supplement I, or my dad at the time, bought and used was the 2nd Gen MT Cell Tech...whether it be optimal or not if you someone who structures carb intake immediately post workout it was an effective formula. Unfortunately it having been a propriotry blend most will never know if we were getting clincal doses of creatine and aminos along with all that dextrose...uuuh could have been worse. I could have used M1T or superdrol as my 1st supplement while claiming natty not knowing im actually using an extremly strong anabolic like so many did...

Few studies have shown a blend is actually preferred over straight whey post workout. The whole strict whey immediately post workout has been largely exaggerated. Not saying drinking straight whey is bad, just that a blend isn't going to negatively impact you. Select tastes phenomenal and is third party tested which is a big reason it's praised so much.

Nah, that is some outdated thinking. Look at the two links below for our explanation as to why a mix of milk protein isolate and whey is best:

I wouldnt say "outdated"...drinking straight WPI post workout as part of a specific protocol combined with certain compounds to elicit a specific effect is very effective. Is it optimal...you can argue whats optimal all day, i believe alot of science, even "outdated" science has its place.

Dont get me wrong i love PES select. Started using it again this past October and just ordered 3 more tubs. The way i happen to be running things at the moment though, I like it throught out the day or on the go when i dont have time to sit and eat a meal and prefer WPI post workout; but i have used PES select post workout a few times and ill say if your running a specific protocol that calls for WPI, Select is not ideal.
